Apple recently wrapped up its M4 Mac lineup with the iMac, Mac mini, and MacBook Pro. While these are the last big launches of 2024, Apple has exciting products lined up for spring 2025.
As always, the new products from Apple look to stretch the boundaries of innovation even further. There are completely redesigned devices with smarter integrations of technology meant to provide more functionality and convenience to the user.
From iPhones and iPads to even the smartest of smart home devices, the spring releases of Apple promise something for everyone from all walks of the tech enthusiast spectrum.
iPhone SE 4
The iPhone SE 4 will be the cheapest new iPhone from Apple, and it will be its biggest upgrade since the series was launched in 2016.
This model will have a design similar to the iPhone 14 but will eliminate the home button for a more modern design. It will also boast Apple's first in-house modem and a USB-C connector, ending its reliance on Qualcomm.
iPad 11
Apple’s budget-friendly iPad will get its first update in over two years. The iPad 11 is expected to include support for Apple Intelligence with a potential A18 chip, though design changes are unlikely. This update could make the entry-level iPad even more versatile.
MacBook Air with M4
The MacBook Air will get an M4 chip, which offers improved performance. There are no changes to the design that one can expect, although the Center Stage camera similar to that in the most recent MacBook Pro is long overdue.
M3 iPad Air
The iPad Air is going to get a minor update with the M3 chip and a new Magic Keyboard. This will make the iPad Air even more attractive for productivity and creativity.
Smart Home Display
Apple's first smart home display will be available in spring, with a roughly 6-inch screen combined with Apple Intelligence. Wall-mountable and attachable to speakers, it is an affordable way to upgrade your smart home.
Other updates include the better ultra-wideband model AirTag and iOS 18.4, bringing final Apple Intelligence features that have been announced at WWDC 2024.
